Cerrito Strip

First Empty Cone from the Large Spools of Longarm Thread
 
Mother made this quilt to use up scrappy strips. I used it to practice quilting feathers. My feather quilting is improving. This quilt looks bright and pretty. It really pops. Who knew this many scraps would make such an outstanding quilt!
